Remind me how many European countries partake in the US led global “security” architecture? How many of these countries have active roles in contributing to and supporting the destruction of these refugees’ home countries, and the extraction of their natural resources? How many of these European countries are a part of the same machinery that enforces the marketization of the rest of the world? How many of these European countries have and continue to directly benefit from being good obedient lapdogs to the US?

How many of these European countries are experiencing the same dilemmas of: backsliding institutions, increasing austerity measures, and inadequate population replacement?

How many of those European countries have had “Europe needs to be for Europeans” or “Foreigners must assimilate to Western ‘values’ and European ‘culture,’ rapidly become mainstream public sentiment over the last 2-3 decades? How many of these countries have also adopted hardline islamophobia, despite the fact that they don’t have significant muslim populations, refugees or otherwise? How many of these countries have adopted vitriolic attitudes towards immigration/immigrants, but still heavily rely on the very systems that create the conditions that they supposedly hate?

Europeans are no different than Americans. You create the conditions that cause the things you claim to despise, but you also refuse to self reflect regarding your role in the matter. You refuse to stop doing imperialist shit, but then cry about the consequences of your imperialist actions. You have no interest in correcting the problems that you created. you just want to stop having those problems become inconveniences to you, real or imagined.
